If you're C++ developer with graphics or C++ experience and you'd like to make a difference in a great #opensource project, #Inkscape could really use your help in pushing the work forward for 1.5. We've got some amazing stuff already, but we need to keep the momentum going so we can let it loose in the wild faster :) Want to get involved? Head over to the milestone list and see where you can help: https://gitlab.com/groups/inkscape/-/milestones/16#tab-issues

Inkscape 1.5 is a brutal middle finger to Adobe Illustrator, finally delivering the devastating blow that trapped, exploited designers have been praying to see for decades.

Inkscape is built on the blood, sweat, and shattered mental health of a handful of exhausted visionaries. They are stretching themselves to the absolute breaking point,

If you understand C++, join the fight

Don’t let Inkscape developers alone in the trenches — step up, fuel the resistance, and help them drive a stake through the heart of Adobe’s monopoly

    1. As you have said, the amount of time the porting took.

    2. A nothing burger to me but it was made pretty clear by others affected by US defaultism that the name is annoying to them.

    3. The main thing: they were sitting on fat by FOSS standards contributions in crypto for years before finally doing something with the money.
